North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (Re-Advertisement)

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is seeking sealed proposals for the WorkSource East Security / Perimeter Fence project, located in Goldsboro, NC, with jurisdictional connections to Warren County and Greensboro City. The procurement is a construction contract for furnishing labor, materials, and equipment to install additional security and perimeter fencing as specified in the Construction Documents. Bidders must submit proposals by 1:00 pm on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at the DHHS main building located at 902 Corporate Drive, Goldsboro, NC. An open pre-bid meeting was previously held on Friday, September 19, 2025, at the WorkSource East Main Building. Contractors must be licensed as "Building Contractors" and submit a bid deposit or certified check of at least 5% of the proposal amount, or provide a corresponding bid bond. Complete project specifications and contract documents are available for inspection at multiple locations, including Studio Archibene, PLLC offices and various plan rooms maintained by contractor associations.

The procurement includes specific requirements for minority business participation, mandating that bidders complete the Identification of Minority Business Participation form with either Affidavit A or Affidavit B. Failure to complete these forms may result in bid rejection. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price are required, and payment will be made based on 95% of monthly estimates, with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work. No bid may be withdrawn for 30 days after the closing time, and the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the requirement for performance bonds suggests a substantial project value. The procurement appears to be open to qualified building contractors with appropriate state licensing, with an emphasis on encouraging minority business participation through the mandatory affidavit process.
